About this Event
We are pleased to welcome John Lewis-Stempel to Waterstones Worcester, where he will be doing a talk about his new book England: A Natural History.
John Lewis-Stempel is a farmer of cattle, sheep, pigs and poultry and a Sunday Times bestselling author of Woodston, The Running Hare and The Wood. He is the only person to have won the Wainwright prize for Nature Writing twice, with Meadowland and Where Poppies Blow.
England: A Natural History is the definitive volume on the English landscape, and the capstone of John Lewis-Stempel’s nature writing.
‘England’s landscape is iconic. A tapestry of distinctive habitats that together make up a country unique for its rich diversity of flora and fauna.
Concentrating on each habitat in turn, John Lewis-Stempel leads us from estuary to park, chalk downland to woodland, river to field, village to moor, lake to heath, fen to coastal cliffs, in a book that is unquestionably his magnum opus.
Each habitat – whether managed park or wild moor, plunging cliff or man-made Broads – has also shaped human life; forming our idea of ourselves and our sense of what ‘England’ means.’
We look forward to welcoming you to store to hear this wonderful talk followed by and a chance for you to ask questions and get your book signed.
